Abstract
Learning disabilities (LDs) have recently been recognized in adults. The history, etiology, and diagnosis of LDs in adults are reviewed with specific reference to the vocational adjustment of persons with LDs. Specific functional challenges experienced by persons with LDs are identified and discussed in relation to their significance for rehabilitation interventions. The development of work competencies which accommodate disability - related limitations is considered along with the need for comprehensive work-place interventions for this group.
